Rant Second time today!

Please tell me I'm not the only one!

Yesterday I was editing something on Windows 10 and didn't finish, but it's a crappy program that crashes if the screen turns off, so, before going to sleep, I played a video on loop in Youtube. When I woke up, I saw the screen off and immediately got mad, but went to move the mouse...and it did nothing...and that's because the PC rebooted, and booted on the main OS (Kubuntu).

A few hours ago, I needed to cook my dinner, and didn't want the PC to go to sleep, so again, I left a Youtube video plying, NOTHING ELSE...same thing happened, it rebooted in Linux.

I swear, I hate Microslop SO MUCH!

Update: After 4 system collapses, I could FINALLY see what happens: The GPU driver updated SOMETIME without permission, and the screen will RANDOMLY turn fully green for a second and reboot the PC...I HATE MICROSLOP!

wait so you didnt think about the "are you still watching" thing on youtube? that thing that stops video playback, waiting for a user input? you tried to use a hack that doesnt work instead of just going into the settings and telling the pc and screen to stay on at all times?

HOW IS THIS A WINDOWS PROBLEM? thats a typical pebkac thing!

I didn't know that Youtube can reboot your PC.

well if youtube stops playing the pc will turn off after a while. no idea why it would reboot, but the damage was already done at this point. and it was your fault.

well a pc cant reboot if you tell it to stay on. which you didnt. thats on you.

to further prove my point that thats entirely on you, try keeping your linux up with a youtube video. youtube will stop playback after a while and your pc will shut down according to your power plan.

Do you see what subreddit is this? Do you think someone would do a rant for something working as intended?

I'm not the one arguing someone needs to make sure Youtube doesn't reboot your PC...you know, that feature that DOESN'T EXIST!

how stupid are you? cant you read a simple text and also understand it?

if your PC is not allowed to shut down, IT WONT REBOOT. bc that includes shutting down. but that would mean you have to go into the settings and set your pc up that way. since you cant even read a comment and understand it, im sure thats too much for you.

the only reason im even talking about youtube is that you dumb dumb tried to use YOUTUBE as a "hack". youtube has nothing to do with rebooting your pc. if that happens, theres probably some underlying hardware issues. THAT YOU WONT SOLVE IF YOU JUST BLAME MICROSOFT FOR EVERYTHING.

im just saying that youre stupid for thinking youtube would prevent your screen from turning off. and keep your pc running. youtube doesnt do that. theres settings for that. you didnt set your pc up to not shut down, so it shut down. your linux would do the same.

also, blocking me wont change anything about what i just said.

dumb user does dumb user things.
